Seiko's are bulletproof.
I have the BFK, and the only thing I don't like about it are the "condom" and "fishbone" hands. Gonna get those swapped out for Sumo hands.
Prefer the Sumo actually, but pretty expensive, and the bracelet kinda sucks.
From what I have been reading anyway, it seems most aviation experts believe the plane is at the bottom of the Indian ocean, due to their confidence that a plane that size would be unable to land anywhere in the world without being picked up by civilian/military radar, and instantly ID'd.
Sweet watch man, but of course, with a real swiss ETA and gen crystal, you spent close to a grand, not inc. the price of your rep.
So I would expect the watch to look and perform very very nice.
I once owned a 47mm Invicta with a Miyota movement that looked like a Rolex. It was great quality, but just too large for my 6.5" wrist. So sad, it was very nice in all other respects.
QC clasp issues have kept me from pulling the trigger on one of these PO bad boys for the past few years.
Maybe the only solution is just bite the bullet and pick up a gen clasp. That is if you can get it to fit the bracelet.
I dunno, in a couple of those pictures, the printing on the dial just seems a bit. . . off? Is is just me?
"Radiomir" and "Black Seal" just look slightly crooked. I can understand sometimes photos can distort an image, but he has two shots from two different angles, and both times the lettering looks bad.
Wow! He sure did! The guy was even complaining that the sale didn't go through!
He has no idea it was probably Gangster sending those PM's to the seller that saved his butt.
Per Jkay in the Tag thread, Vac is one of the best and most reliable modders in North America. But he has a huge workload, so you are best off just sending him your watch, and trust him to get the job done. Might be a couple months at this point. . .
I'm satisfied with my H factory PAM, for the most part. Yah, it would have been great to have those letters engraved and filled with blue ink as per the gen, and having the incabloc would be nice too, but the overall build quality is excellent, IMO.
Dang! I was just thinking, lucky bastard, he must be a high roller, buying 5K watches, then putting it in storage without wearing it. . .
It's really nice though.
Straight razor is old school, with the inherent dangers of serious nick damage, but that being said, it is impressive to use one of those in the morning.
